Its seems that the electric rad fan comes on sometimes before the engine is showing that it is even upto running temp?
I notice also that it is on after i leave the car after normal running ( not hot).

Does anyone else have this issue? is it just a faulty temp sensor of is it something new with these cars?

I have been looking out for a 2.0. Hdi 206 estate as my wife wants a smaller car, I had decided on the 2.0. engine as its a known quantity but there is a 1.4 about fairly locally and wondered if anyone had experience of them.

All comments gratefully received.

Hi there. I bought a set of LED bulbs and I replaced the traditional bulbs with them. It looks simply neat, but I have some problems with the new bulbs. First of all, the blinkers work twice as fast than with standard bulbs. I guess it has something to do with the resistance of the LEDs. Also, some lights work when they're not supposed to. For...

Hi Guys I have a 307cc Diesel 135BHP 08 Reg. I've noticed the past month a strange whistle sound when I accelerate. It sounds like a police Siren and irritates me. Prior to the sound appearing I had a Turbo Boost pressure ECU error and occasional hesitation.

Everything points to a Turbo or Turbo hose leak but need some advice regarding fixing it....

Hi all. I have a 407sw 2.0hdi and there is a problem with the clutch. It makes an awful grinding noise when the clutch pedal is depressed. It won’t go into gear or move. Help!!

I have a 2004 2.0 hdi Partner that has an unusual problem... It randomly goes into acute limp mode without the engine management light on the dash. I lift the bonnet and while its idling, I can squeeze the priming bulb and purge air through the system seemingly from the rail - the air bubbles travel through the transparent fuel pipe that leads...

I know it's a tough call but what car would members recommend as a more up to date replacement for the Peugeot 206 1.9D LX 5 door hatch?

Driving to work on Monday in my '88 205 I was flashed at by a number of cars behind me. Not because they liked my car but because my rear lights weren't working at all. Having investigated what's wrong I've discovered that the live wire from the right-hand rear light to the number plate lights is earthing somewhere causing the fuse to blow as soon...

I have a Peugeot Expert 1.6 hdi van, the engine is destroyed, the engine code is 9HU and it seems impossible to find a used replacement, I have seen lots of 1.6 hdi, Citroen/Ford/Fiat 1.6hdi engines of a similar year but with different codes, will any of these fit my van ?, its a 2007

after sorting my heater blower not working on my 07 plate 807 I thought I would have a go at getting the 4 button key fob to work,

Hello to all .

The electric pump for the power steering is dead on our 205.

We scrapped a 306 recently and have the brackets and pump for the power steering.

Any thoughts on running the 205 from the pulley pump instead of the electric pump ?

Will the 205 rack take the pressure supplied from the pulley pump ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I have a friend with a 2001 206 1.6 petrol, with digital climate control and I believe non-multiplexed wiring. The blower motor suddenly stopped blowing on any speed. Am I right in assuming since it has digital climate control, it will have a fan controller module instead of a simple resistor pack? I know these can go bad since I've had...

sorted the heaters in the 807 they work a dream.
but what controls the cruise control in an 807,
it does not work no lights come on the dash, I know there will probably be switches on the brake and clutch which I will check at the weekend but is it controlled by the bsi or the can
(if mine has the can) are there any fuses to check.

Hi not been on for awhile (came over to the DARK SIDE), had a few citroens over the years all of which had there niggles.

I need to replace a rear wheel bearing on the 307 its pressed into the disc. Can it be hammered out and a new one pulled in with a large nut and bolt or do I need a press? Thanks

I had the ac on today, when I tried to push the button off it would not shut down. The light was on. After a few tries, and shutting down the engine, It finally shut off. But now when I push the button it just does not turn on. No yellow light. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I had a problem starting the car the other day, finally got the car started. Think it has a bad Injector so with a combination of cold weather caused this.

I have ran a couple of test and the correction values are below

Hi,

It has been sometime that my 2007 407SW 2.2 Petrol has been making a diesel noise / rattle. This is especially apparent during cold start or high RPM. To my understanding, the sound is caused by a failing VVT Cam Gear. I am wondering, how bad should things get before I spend the money to replace it? Since it is a quite an expensive part. I...

Bigpug chucked the toys out of the pram yesterday. I had to go to Aberdeen, 45 miles distant, and on the way there I thought its not running properly, it seems to be missing a bit. Coming home, when asked for a kickdown and power for an overtake it lost all power for a couple of seconds, threw on the engine management light and displayed engine...

My Peugeot 206 petrol model 2005 :

hi all, my boxer has been left standing for some time.. the battery was completely dead.. however, I had it running again, the last occasion was a few days ago. I cant remember if I turned it off, or it stopped by itself :evil:

Now it's not starting at all.. it almost catches but that's it.. Before I start checking obvious things, I ran a DIAG...

Hi,

I have a 407SW 2.2 (EW12) with the AL4 transmission which I am quite disappointed with the ratio spread. I am wondering if I can transplant the Chinese made 508 (or a late model 408 with the 2.0 gasoline 2.0 with the Aisin 6 Speed) with the 2.3L 4 cylinder gasoline engine that has the Aisin 6 speed transmission. To begin with, does the...

Changed the plugs with the engine out and now faced with a new problem. Despite directly connecting the power directly, the engine will not start with the local temperature around 0C without using spray. There is power going to the plugs. The circuit shows individual supply wires but this car has one only.
The combined resistance is around 4 ohms...

Got in this morning, go to take it out of gear, and, er, no. Stuck solid :roll: Will start and drive (as long as you only want to go forwards in 1st :lol: ), but no sign of it wanting to come out. It was -4 this am, so it might just be a frozen cable, but that seems a but unlikely since it has not rained for a week, and the cables are not exposed,...

Just put the engine back in and it will not allow reverse. Is the small cable broken or something else? Still no glow plugs either - what a waste of time.
It must have been the cable as when I pulled out the gearbox end of the cable, it was working. I must have stretched it when i pulled the engine.
To change the cable - how does the knob come...

Hello all,

Where is the gear oil filler on a 807 2005 2.2hdi?

I have just bought a 2005 Peugeot 407 hdi 2.0 136 bhp. It starts and runs fine until you get to a steep hill when all of a sudden the engine loses power. even changing down a gear does not help. It feels like in the old diesels when the govener slows the engine down. The engine management light, nor any other light does not come on when this...

The car has auto a/c, so just buttons on the fascia. The heater fan goes flat out when the ignition is on and can't be lowered. Having done a quick read up I believe the problem is down the the fan resistor unit, or rather a transistor within the unit. On phase 2 models it is separate but apparently on phase 1's it's built into the fan assy and...

Hi, I have a Peugeot 206 2005 1.4 petrol no start no crank situation, I have spent along time checking power and earths fuses ect, No communication with the ecu. so no fault codes.

OK guys soon as Christmas is over I plan on getting a 407 1.6 Hdi, there are plenty around most have turbo problems or need a clutch. I know about the turbo issues thanks to this forum. I'd prefer to replace a clutch with a solid flywheel setup but which one fits?

Hi, I am removing the gear box on my wifes 306, to access the clutch . I have removed the gearbox housing bolts but the gearbox will only move about 50m/m before I feel resistance ! is there something that I need to remove to take the gearbox off? many thanks Terry.

Hey guys. I don't mind most of the sounds my car makes (like beeping when I want to leave her with low beam on.) There's just one thing that's annoying me. It's the no seatbelt beep. You see, there's a non-public road to my home, around half a kilometer, so I unbuckle when I get on that road. After 400 meters, the beeping gets so loud, it's...

The high beam also does not work, but the high beam indicator is on. I have replaced the entire turn signal lever and the...

Hi
My 46000 mile, 2007 Peugeot 207 1.4 16v hesitates when cold, usually when I get to the top of the street it runs ok and is fine when warm. The car has fsh, just changed the air filter and plugs which showed signs of black soot although the tips were sandy brown (all 4 the same), so I suspected the engine was running rich.

Please get in touch if this applies to you

I want to take the engine out sitting on the subframe but after getting the exhaust off, I cannot see how the bolt to the steering rack comes out. It has a round head with some sort of security clip but the nut and bolt just spins with no apparent way of holding it still.
